SEEKS TO RECALL
BOND ISSUE BILL
W 3Iembers of Upper Branch Intimate
That 3Ie?.isure Was Passed Too
IP Hastily.
r
T".:e State, 23rd.
That there might be further dissecr
4ion of tlie much mooted phases of the
'proposed bond issue, and amendments
? incorporated, embodying provisions
required to ling the measure to the
national monetary system, in the event
information from Washington were
L favorable, a concerted enort was made
in the senate yesterday to recall the
, cotton bond bill from the house. This
unovement was led by Senator Nicholson
of Edgefield. It failed by a vote
| of 32 to 9.
Wj The Edgefield senator, believed
that action had been too hasty. Senators
were supporting it, he said,
whose minds were not clear as to the
propriety of such a measure. Sena
tors Christensen and La.ney supported
?\Ir. Nicholson in his contention.
Eac"h o:1 these rnad supported the
measure Wednesday that the bouse
might be adjusting differences during
the interim when information was bering
sought at the national capital.
These advocated recall of the meas:

to reconsider. Both will support the
measure, in -^e event a favoralbe report
is brought from Washington relative
to the collateral feature of tbe
'bonds.
Senator Johnstone argued that the
senate should not recede from its forL

something more tangible to take hold

F Senator Hardin said that the recall
of the measure would put the senate
in a bad light, in that it would indicate
a vicillating policy.
' Senator Buck hinted that the bill

that the senate would be criticised
for its hasty action. The Horry sen,
fctor said he was one of what he believed
was a large body that had
thought it useles to call the general
assembly into extraordinary session.
(He didn't think any measure of relief
could be enacted, and tJhe session
"would only entail a heavy expense
upon the State.
^ School for the Deaf and the Blind
W Cedar Spring, S. C., Oct. 17, 1914.
To the Voters of the State of South
Carolina:
At the last meeting of the general
assembly, at our suggestion, two
amendments to our State constitution
were proposed for the betterment of
this school to be voted upon by you at
the coming general election. If these
two proposed amendment are approv-- >
i -Li * - - ? ii.:. _ A _

f~ "Yes" upon 'both of them the sc'cool
f lor the deaf and blind "will no longer
be classified with the Penal and Charitable
but with the educational department
of the State. In order to
A effect this change of classification it
is necessary to amend our constitution
fire/-* tv1q/?o.c TTirct it is npr>pssanv tr?

so amend as to take the s-ciool irom
the Penal and Charitable section. A
second amendment is necessary to
place the school under the educational
section.
At the coming general election in
November you will 'be asked to cast
your ballot eftfner for or against
these two proposed amendments.
Knowing that the people of this State
will uniformly vote "Yes" on these
two amendments provided they are
Informed* as to their Importance to
this school, I deem it my duty, as t&e
representative oft this school, to address
this letter to you.
k A century ago the deaf and the
| t blind children of these United States
Tv?re allrvwtui' tn remain, a hurdpn to
their parents and their friends. About
a half century ago, great adlvancef
ment had been made when a large majority
of the States had established
schools under the name of "Asylums'
for tfoe deaf and the blind children,
k So ignorant iwere the masses of the
jpeople in regard to the ability and
needs of these children that they could

from a deaf and a blind child. But
there has come a general awakening
in all our 'States. They are recognizing
the fact that every deaf and!
every blind, child within the bounds of
these United States has a right to
hope for an education and a right to
hope that it will not be handed out
to him with fie label of charity upon
it while !his more fortunate brothers

there is not the suspicion of charity
with it. The work done at our school
is educational in the highest sense
for it includes instruction along literary,
musical, industrial, physical
and moral lines.
Our graduates are successful men
and women winning their "way in the
world and gaining the respect of the
people around them; they are never

Then I can say to the boys

large and respected alumni of cur
school that South Carolina will no

| Christian Herald, New York.
A correspondent in Belgium describes
his visit to a deserted town.
There was a stream of refugees alosg

and helplessness. Aged men and wo!
men were there, and many others,
I dragging or carrying their children
with them. "A mother among the
Vugitivies," he writes, "when miles on
the way, suddenly remembered that in

from returning to ife rescue,
an impossible task, and was compelled
to hurry on, forever to be haunted
by the vision of her deserted* babe.

lis now raging. In the rural districts
| from which all aihle-bodied men have
, been drawn for service, there is a
| great, blind fear possessing the people,
driving -them from their homes.
In scores of towns and villiages across
which the war has swept, the once
happy homes are masses of ruins.
Weeping women and little children,
smitten with a fear they cannot under
stand are everywnere.
?veu in Germany, fc:e suffering
among mothers and children is making
itself keenly felt. In the Dorotheen
Strasse in Berlin, wftere a general
information bureau has been opened,
all day long wives are calling
inquiring concerning the fate of their
husbands. Piteous scenes are wtit
j nessed hourly,* and the Dorothe-en
: Strasse is now called tfae "Valley of
Tears."
Responding to a general desire on
! the part of its readers, The Christian
i Herald has opened a war relief fund'
j for the widows and orphans of the
i European war. Efficient relie1 com|
mittees at different centers in the va!
rious countries will have charge of
; j the work of distribution. It is con
iiutui-'i,; uvpcu uLia.u iiv/u uiiij Liitr icauers
of this journal, but God's people
everywhere throughout tine United
, States, will aid this effort in behalf o':
the "Silent Sufferers" of the war by
sending in their contributions to t!>.e
fund with liberality an-d prompti e^s.
All contributions will be acknowledged.
It is particularly desirable that
the relief work should be opened with
